- Introduction to the Keelung Ghost Festival Water Lantern Festival-

Water lanterns are a form of paper-pasted art. Made from bamboo strips and paper, they resemble exquisite, fully furnished miniature houses. They serve as a resting place (actually a villa) for friends before participating in the Ghost Festival, and also as invitations to fellow water-dwellers.

After burning, they are sent out to sea, not only to attract the wandering souls of the sea, but also as an invitation, demonstrating the sincerity of the invitation through the intricately crafted paper houses. As the fireworks exploded, everyone on the beach looked up in admiration, wishing the event a successful and successful outcome. Keelung people believe that the farther the water lantern floats, the better the fortune of the family name, and even at high tide, they strive to push it out to sea.
